MCT OIL
SPONSER® MCT OIL is a liquid, tasteless oil made from coconut fat. It is ideally suited in connection with low carb, paleo and ketogenic diets. It is also popular for interval fasting and as an alternative source of energy for endurance sports.
What is SPONSER® MCT OIL?
SPONSER® MCT OIL consists of medium-chain, easily digestible fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides, MCT) derived from coconut.
Medium-chain fatty acids occur naturally in high amounts in coconut fat. MCT OIL tastes neutral, is purely vegetable and consists of a mixture of two fatty acids, 60% caprylic acid (C8) and 40% capric acid (C10).
What is SPONSER® MCT OIL intended for?
The metabolism of medium-chain fatty acids differs significantly from that of long-chain fatty acids. MTC are converted to ketone bodies in the liver and used as a quick, alternative energy source.
Ketone bodies are relatively small molecules and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, they can be used in the brain as an alternative energy source.
In addition to their rapid utilisation in the brain, MCTs have the advantage that, as fats, they have no or only minimal effects on the blood sugar level and thus the secretion of insulin.
The easily digestible medium-chain fatty acids are not stored in the form of depot fat, but are used directly by the body as an energy source.
Advantages of SPONSER® MCT OIL
